SongBook Chordpro for Negative User Reviews
✓ Better know how to write in syntaxThis is one of the least user friendly apps I’ve downloaded..why can’t I just play chords and simultaneously drop them onto the sheet in the order I’ve selected?? Why can I only select chords and see their variations, but not play them within the context of the song. Too many drop downs, too many work around. WHY WOULD I NEED TO LNOW SYNTAX TO WRITE MUSIC. Ripped me off for my money....Version: 4.5
✓ What?I have used apps to manage setlists many times and I’ve never found one so difficult to figure out. As a matter of fact I still haven’t got a setlist setup. At one point I thought I did but couldn’t get it to scroll. Then when I went back to it the songs were listed but gone. And when I went back to the main list they were gone or contained the lyrics from the song above it in the list. I want my $11 back!.Version: 4.4.3
✓ How to fixe sharing app thât has been stopped without loosing dataÀ friend share The app and than stopped share it. To be able to keep all thé songs, To uninstall without erasing data, had to do it from general settings-IPad storage-SongBook where you can remove app without erasing data. But after, I couldn’t buy app as it was only available to download, so I bought it as a present that I sent to myself by email. Then I have been able to install. All thé data was there after 😀sorry for m’y english!.Version: 5.0
✓ Downgraded- App getting worseDowngraded to 2 stars - good for organization, playlists. But they removed the very functions I gave them 5 stars for! I wrote a 5 star review about 2 years ago, which still shows up on their app reviews. I thanked the developers for adding ½ page scroll for pdf files at my request and for the way they fixed pagination of pdf files. I use pdf lead sheets and sheet music exclusively since I find Chordie file format to be useless. These functions disappeared with no warning last year and have not come back. I’m in the process of switching to a better music reader. I guess they got my money....Version: 4.9.3
✓ It would have been 5 stars but no iCloudI have the app on my Mac Pro, Mac mini, and MacBook Pro, and it gets the songs perfectly there. I truly love the Mac version. However the iPad App only does DropBox, GoogleDrive and Microsoft cloud sharing, or manual sharing thru Files App, which makes it almost totally useless for me. If you can do without iCloud, I strongly recommend it. However I don't use any of those cloud file systems , so it has become totally useless. In the three and a half years time period I have owned this App, I have used it 3 times. The third time being tonight, and discovering, again, why it is useless to me. I can download the songs piece by piece, but what a pain. In this day and age, it is infuriating to find an App that doesn't automatically sync on iCloud. If you want iCloud sync, stay away, if it is not important for you, then by all means get it..Version: 4.9
✓ Not so goodUI is very basic. Buttons are too small and fiddly for live performance use. Metronome is very basic and barely visible. Importing lyrics and chords is a nice idea but only seems to work with the Chordie website and needs lots of editing after import to get it into a decent and usable format. Overall a good idea not very well executed. May get better over time but not currently worth the price..Version: 2.1
✓ Disappearing SongI’ve been using this app for many years. Now all of f the sudden songs just disappear for no reason. There is no support and no way to contact developers..Version: 5.2
✓ Chord Editing is GlitchyI really like this program except the chord creating and editing is almost unusable. When you try to edit nod select a chord it displays the wrong chord. Same thing if you try to delete a chord. A real time waster when trying to do such editing. I hope they will fix this..Version: 3.5.1
✓ Sharing Files Across Devices Is Not Setting UpCan you provide me with workable instructions on how to share song files across devices?.Version: 5.1.3
✓ TerribleThere is only one song on this app!!!!!.Version: 2.6.1
✓ Needs workNice clean interface but buggy. Dropbox sync stops working if you change the song name. AirPrint doesn't work at all. Don't have options to change colouring of comments. Lots of potential to replace the very buggy OnSong. Keep the updates coming..Version: 1.6
✓ Doesn't workPaid for and downloaded having seen a good review on you tube. First thing I tried was to import hotel California from Internet, searched, found it, clicked import and the program closed!!!! Tried again from different site, same thing. Closed down iPad, reopened, same thing. Uninstalled, reinstalled, same thing. Have now sent an email to support so let's see what they come back with..Version: 2.6
✓ DevastatedI was just starting to get the hang of this app and put on a heap of my songs. When I opened it today, they are all gone!! I am shattered and can not get any help to understand what has happened..Version: 3.8.1
✓ Has been great until the last 12 monthsThis is a good app however over the last few months I have ‘lost’ hundreds of songs including more importantly my own and the customer service person I dealt with was terrible. The songs that were on the app just disappeared over night. At one time 150 just vanished. Very unhappy..Version: 5.3.1
✓ Not badThe app is good but tech support doesn't seem to know much about it..Version: 4.1.2
✓ CrashesApp crashes after lastest update.Version: 4.9
✓ Cannot remove “C” from the titles in some songs?I cannot figure out why on some song titles there appears a -C after the song title. How can I make this -C go away? Thank you!.Version: 5.3.1
✓ Song bookHas some limitations, I have it on three devises an iPad, iMac and windows 10. On the iPad it will only print in landscape, on the iMac I can not for the love of me find how to edit a song, the lyrics are large and the chord is very small I can not find a way to reverse that. On windows 10 it just will not print at all. Another fault, on the iPad if the iPad is touched just slightly the song will jump to the end no matter where you are in it. The program is different on each devise, the control and settings are different on each device so I will only give it two stars..Version: 4.9.3
✓ Songbook Chordpro - disappointingI had high hopes for this app and picked it over OnSong mainly due to the on screen chord bar, user entered chord patterns and a couple other interface issues I thought might be an advantage. Unfortunately, this app was such a letdown on the way it handles imports of tab files I went back and bought OnSong less than 2 hours later. The problem is that I have a substantial library of tab song sheets (chords above lyrics)not the Chordpro format (chords in [G] format inserted within the lyrics). Songbook will open them but it screws up the chord placement dramatically so that the chords are way off where they should be above the lyrics below. Furthermore, it doesn't recognize the chords as chords, just lyrics so no chord features like diagrams, formatting or transposing are available. OnSong on the other hand imports my files almost perfectly and recognizes the cords in the proper location. OnSong doesn't have a couple of the features in SongBook like swipe to next song, the chord bar at bottom of screen but if it comes to pretty much redoing 400 odd songs I'll give up a couple little features that I can probably live without vs a better import function. Autoscroll works well I both apps as does metronome, play along, cataloging etc etc. in e end I would have been happy with this app if its import function was anywhere as good as its competition when it comes to regular song tabs. You can find free converter programs online like 'Songsheet Generator' and it does a pretty decent job of converting tab to chordpro, not perfect but decent. This beggs the question, if Songsheet Generator can do this why can't Songbook? Impliment this feature and this app would be #1 IMO..Version: 2.1
✓ Doesn't authenticate with googleLinking with google drive doesn't work. I log in successfully but then safari says there is an improper URL and returning to songbook gives oauth error -4.Version: 4.6
✓ GarbageNo matter what I try , I cannot import my song list from Chordle, but before purchasing I was led to believe this was compatible. I have almost 1000 songs , reformatting or copy/paste is not an option..Version: 5.6
✓ App pretty good, but support is worse than terribleTitle says it all. Support is non existent..Version: 5.3.1
✓ Song BookI’m a disabled pensioner and have limited tech knowledge. I’ve tried on numerous occasions to contact you for help. Unfortunately the only help you provided was your standard help email which is no use to me. So I contacted Apple App Support who advised me to contact you this way. I paid and downloaded Song Book app and have no music or songs except Greensleeves. You really need to realise your Apps are purchased by Senior citizens too and they need extra support. Z Greenhalgh.Version: 4.8
✓ There is no method of import in the current iTunes Store on my iPad ProI followed the tutorials and hadn’t realized that the information is dated. My Apple Music and ITunes Store Apps do not allow me to access a menu where “apps” is an option so there is no directory that is supposedly shared by Songbook Chordpro with either Apple Music or the ITunes Store. Unless I’m missing something; it probably worked with older versions of ITunes but not the current ITunes Store..Version: 5.0
✓ Play Together Still DiappointingMost things are good. The Play together either does not work or drops connection after a short while. Disappointing aspect of the ap..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Doesn’t work with new iPadFirst of all, if you have a newer Mac book, you won’t have ITunes so you can’t import music sheets because it says you have to have ITunes. Second, it doesn’t have the search for songs on the internet like it says. Third, there is no way to contact the developer to see if there are ways around it. Total waist of money. Can’t import and can’t search for songs on the internet.Version: 5.5.1
✓ Great app but unstableThis app really is brilliant. The ability to change key with the touch of a button is fantastic. The only issue with the app is that it crashes all the time when trying to edit songs meaning you have to keep clicking save after a couple of changes or you lose everything. Very very frustrating..Version: 4.1.1
✓ Love the app but loses my songsI have been using Songbook for several years as an amateur musician who is starting to gig some. Love the way it pulls songs from Chordie and allows key transitions, manual entering comments, etc. I have over 1300 songs on my two iPads and they sync nicely when making changes in either one. HOWEVER, several times I have selected songs that I have been playing for years and it will suddenly say “SONG NOT FOUND”. The title is there, but not the song. One time it suddenly lost over 300 songs at one time, many of these were entered manually or had changes made in them manually to better suit our performance style. The first time this happened, I spent weeks going thru my list and finding the lost songs and loading them in again, or, even worse, manually entering them again. It has happened several more times but not to that extent. I am becoming hesitant to use the app now, for fear it will lose songs during or right before a gig. What could be causing this? Thanks!! Ollie.Version: 5.3.1
✓ Such a great app. BUTIt really has to many clitches when trying to shair on drop box great potental but no upgrades got to go some where else now as it to fustrating.Version: 3.0
✓ DeletesApp was good until it just deleted all my songs that had taken me over 2 weeks to up load. Very very disappointed. I’m hoping that there’s a way of restoring my songs. Really annoyed and upset is putting it mildly..Version: 5.1
✓ Used to love itI used to love this app, but lately its doing some strange things. Like when I transpose a song and save it, it reverts back to the original key. There used to be a way to get support for the app, but that seems to have disappeared..Version: 4.5.1
✓ Sync Overwrites Newer FilesWhen syncing between devices, newer modified files are sometimes overwritten... meaning that work is lost. No iCloud support between Mac and iOS devices?.Version: 5.0
✓ Crash FactoryThis app used to be great, but now unexpectedly crashes in the middle of gigs. No bueno!.Version: 4.6.1
✓ Some problemsClean interface and Dropbox sync is good. However I have two gripes 1. It doesn't like some of my Chordpro files when I put in extra [ ][ ] to help rendering into bar length equivalents, so useless for my database 2. It doesn't support separate lyrics on HDMI display, so no good for live audience stuff, just your as a musician. Requesting a refund hopefully.Version: 3.6
✓ Works great!Perfect for get togethers and practice..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Lacks compatibility with desktop appLacks compatibility of file naming with the desktop app. For example .cpm or .cho not recognised. Doesn’t import category structure either. Too much manual labour needed for obvious stuff..Version: 5.2
✓ Drop box my songsHi guys, i have around 200 songs saved into my drop box and for some reason whatever i do the app wont show my songs, am i doing something wrong, hope you can help, cheers.Version: 4.9
✓ Song chord pro is difficult to useThis is a worthless app. Not at all intuitive..strongly recommend against until interface is improved and direct access to web and chords.Version: 4.4.1
✓ SongBook ChordproNo matter what I do, I can't seem to delete the "recently changed" playlist or anything in it. I can clear it out, but the songs come back again and it won't delete. anyone have any ideas?.Version: 2.1
✓ Great app but far too many crashesApp is great but constantly crashes when editing - particularly when editing chords. Please fix! (Using iPad Pro with latest OS).Version: 4.7
✓ EgrrrrrSo far no joy in importing songs. Seems very cumbersome. Will update this comment if I manage to get some songs in. Still very undecided..Version: 0
✓ Problem last updateSince last update the family sharing is not working and the application is not starting saying that application is not share anymore, even that we only have one ipad using it. Now we don’t have access to more tha a year work (more than 1600 songs).Could you please fix this asap..Version: 5.0
✓ Update problemsSince the update I can't access any of my songs :(.Version: 3.7
✓ Great by itself!This app is great by itself and works beautifully, until you try the play together feature. On 3 iPads on stage and couldn’t keep them connected during a show! This definitely killed the vibe for me and our Bluegrass group! Fix the Play together feature and this will be a hit!.Version: 4.5.2
✓ Disappointing & not inviting to add songsWish could get money back - Songsterr is by far a much better product with huge library of music that you can easily add to favs with chord&player view!.Version: 2.8.1
✓ Do not use this application if you are using Pages on your iPad!There is a conflict as it will grab documents from your e-mail and it does not let you choose Pages. As well, inserting chord names into song lyrics manually is very difficult; the brackets that you have to select to do so are very small and really hard to use on a touch screen. Overall, a waste of money. This my last use of the application before I delete it!.Version: 2.2.1
✓ Not reliableApp is not reliable, cuts out and losers songs. When it does work it is good. Needs fixing.Version: 3.4
✓ Great prog, but having probsLove this app and can accept its limitations as its such a good idea, particularly like the scrolling feature. I am however having problems with the create playlist function...I can add songs to a newly created playlist and at first it seems ok, then on going back to the programme its adding every single line of the songs to the playlist and won't recognise the songs. Immensely irritating and I can't seem to find a solution. This is the reason for 3 stars.I this can be resolved I'd be happy to put this up to 5. Any help would be appreciated....Version: 3.9.2
